Dr. L A McCrae
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCADC, FOT, CCTP, CCTSA
I provide a specialized sanctuary for LGBT Issues, specifically focusing on the intersectional liberation of Black, Queer, and Trans/Non-binary individuals. As a transmasculine clinician, I don't require you to explain your identity; instead, we dive straight into the work of unmasking and reclamation. We move beyond "affirming" to actively building a life that celebrates your queer and trans excellence.

Rochester's identity has been shaped by the legacy of companies like Kodak and Xerox — their rise defining the city's mid-20th-century prosperity and their decline leaving a post-industrial community grappling with poverty, population loss, and the psychological challenges of navigating a city in long-term contraction. The University of Rochester Medical Center provides a major institutional mental health anchor — including one of the country's leading psychiatry departments — alongside a private therapy community concentrated in Brighton, Pittsford, and the Park Avenue neighborhood. Rochester's large Black and Latino communities, concentrated in the city's urban core, experience significant mental health inequities, and culturally affirming therapists are an important but undersupplied part of the local landscape. Rochester Institute of Technology and the University of Rochester contribute academic energy to a city that holds significant intellectual capital despite its economic challenges.
